Chapter 488: The Curse
Chapter 488: The Curse
"I must have caught some ancient infectious disease... or... cough... an unknown ancient disease... Run!" Fang Qiong covered her mouth and coughed repeatedly, her expression anxious.
However, Fang Xing stared at the empty space beside Fang Qiong's hospital bed, deep in thought.
The Darkness Path was the most adept at utilizing corrosive, cursed, and shadow powers.
It was only natural and reasonable for an ancient tomb guardian, an Extraordinary Being, to use the power of the Darkness Path to guard their own tomb.
"But this level, or rather... rank, is a bit too high."
"No wonder the Extraordinary elixir didn't work before."
He muttered to himself, then extended his finger and pointed it directly at Fang Qiong's forehead.
Fang Qiong exclaimed in surprise, feeling as if countless strange pieces of knowledge had suddenly appeared in her mind.
Most importantly, it was a secret martial arts scripture called "Hand of Darkness"! In addition, there were also the precepts and empowerment of the Mystic Sect.
"I..."
She breathed heavily, and her body instinctively circulated the qi and blood within her.
On her body, the black spots came to life, boiling and condensing...
Finally, they all gathered at Fang Qiong's shoulder and were sealed by a circle of flame patterns.
Crack!
She tore off the bandages on her body and stood up, "Am I... cured?"
"Not only are you cured, but because the rank of the Dark Ether that has invaded you is high, after devouring them, your strength will rapidly increase."
"In a few months, you might even break through the First Limit and possibly the Second Limit."
Fang Xing's expression was indifferent as he clenched his fist.
His Esoteric Martial Arts had already reached the level of "Six Void Skill," encompassing all.
His will was vast, and through the strange symbol on Fang Qiong's shoulder, his spirit connected to an unknown existence.
"There's still a thread of connection. I'll sever it first, and when the time comes, I'll completely eliminate any potential trouble."
The Great Sun appeared between his eyebrows, and a spark of fire fell.
The pitch-black mark instantly boiled, but it couldn't break through the flame pattern. From a distant place, a terrifying wail could be heard.
Then... everything disappeared without a trace.
"A Xing... When did you become the Master of Esotericism?"
Fang Qiong also heard that miserable scream and a look of fear appeared on her face, "Who... is that?"
"I've empowered you with not only the secret martial arts but also the knowledge of the Mystical Realm... You should know that you're not sick, but cursed. The one who cursed you is probably an Immortal, or even a being above Immortals..."
Fang Xing showed a keen interest, "I told you not to join that archaeological team. Looks like you've encountered a ghost after walking the night road for so long, right?"
"An Immortal..."
"Even the malevolent spirit born from the fall of an Immortal is terrifying..."
Fang Qiong shrank her neck, "But... I'm more curious about your transformation."
"Just consider it as my awakening of innate wisdom..."
Fang Xing casually explained, feeling that it fit well with his Esoteric cultivation.
"Go and handle the discharge procedures yourself. I'll wait for you in the car outside."
After doing all this, Fang Xing walked out of the ward.
Outside, Shi Lei stood like a bodyguard, and several security guards lay on the ground.
In the distance, a few nurses and doctors seemed to be peeking curiously.
"They were just doing their job. Don't forget to compensate them generously..."
Fang Xing reminded Shi Lei as he left the hospital and got into the steam limousine, appearing to be in deep thought.
Soon, Shi Lei returned and respectfully said, "I compensated them with a year's salary... They were all very happy."
Fang Xing picked up a pen and paper and drew a symbol, the same one on Fang Qiong's shoulder, resembling a pitch-black eye with a twisted and sinister feel.
"Go and find information related to this symbol."
Fang Xing handed the paper to Shi Lei and casually instructed him, "Also... send a few people to bring Fang Fang back."
Fang Fang was his sister, currently studying at Cuiting High School, and she was suspected of having contact with a secret society's external organization.
However, according to the investigation, the secret society wasn't a significant force, and they could be easily dealt with by calling a few people.
Unbeknownst to them, the Mystic Sect established by Fang Xing had already become a major power in the Mystical Realm.
...
Cuiting High School.
As the only high school in Cuiting City, its academic quality wasn't impressive, and many students were more interested in playing and slacking off, neglecting their studies.
Fang Fang was of shorter stature, with a baby face, making her an easy target for bullying. She was nervous at Cuiting High School, fearing being trapped in bathrooms or changing rooms for bullying.
Additionally, she had a people-pleasing personality, and after a long period of observation and pleasing others, she was finally introduced by a close friend to join the high school's 'Sisterhood'.
It was known that the big sister of the Sisterhood, Joanna, was a prominent figure at Cuiting High School. She was not only the cheerleading captain but also the girlfriend of the football team captain, and she was the one who bullied others, never the other way around.
'If I join the Sisterhood, I can also...'
Fang Fang followed her friend into an empty classroom.
The room was already filled with students, some with heavy smoky makeup, some in hot pants showcasing their sexy figures, and others blowing bubbles out of boredom.
Fang Fang looked at them and felt a sense of coolness.
She quickly chose a corner and sat down.
Before long, a tall, blonde woman with ample cleavage walked in: "Welcome to you... new sisters."
It was Joanna, and as she looked at her classmates, a playful smile appeared on her face: "However, to join the Sisterhood, you must also pass a test..."
As Joanna spoke, her lipstick-smiled grew more suggestive: "The first test... Chair Dance!"
She clapped her hands, and a group of football players entered from outside, each one big and brawny like gorillas, some with lecherous smiles on their faces.
Each grabbed a chair and sat directly on top, staring at their own crotches with suggestive expressions.
"This..."
Fang Fang felt a bit shy, even though she knew about such things between men and women.
But she had never tried it.
"I believe none of you are still little girls, right?"
Joanna laughed boldly.
These young girls' thoughts were easy to guess—they admired the glamor of the big sister, feared being out of place, and feared being ridiculed.
Even their original chastity could become a reason for ridicule—all thanks to her subtle indoctrination of such an atmosphere and leading the trend.
To achieve this, various media cooperation would be required, but for the extraordinary beings of the Blood Path, both the difficulty and time would be significantly reduced.
'Before long, the entire Cuiting High School will fall... becoming the new blood source for our Bloody Sisterhood.'
Joanna felt proud, and she had a little sister light the scented candle to set the mood.
Soon, the classroom filled with a blush-inducing scent, and many female students felt parched and thirsty.
'Very good... at this moment, as long as there's someone to take the lead, it will...'
As Joanna was thinking, the classroom door was suddenly kicked open!
Bang! Along with the door being kicked open, a shadow appeared.
Upon closer inspection, it was her boyfriend, the football team captain, who had been beaten to a pulp.
"Ah!"
The young girls screamed, shattering the suggestive atmosphere.
"Who?"
Several football players, whose good time had been interrupted, stood up, some grabbing baseball bats.
"Is this the place?"
Shi Ding walked in. Once the legitimate eldest son of the Shi family and the future heir, after his empowerment, he had knelt directly at his younger brother's feet.
Compared to the influence of Black Ring City, what was the Shi family's wealth? And compared to the power of the Esoteric Sect Emperor, what was a Black Ring City? He glanced around, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Take her away... break the legs of the rest."
"Who are you?"
Joanna was shocked and reached into her pocket, secretly holding a charm.
"Esoteric Sect... Shi Ding!"
Shi Ding gave a cold laugh: "What? Does your Bloody Sisterhood still dare to challenge our Esoteric Sect?"
"Esoteric Sect?"
This was the first time Fang Fang had seen Big Sister Joanna's face change, and she let out a scream like a little girl.
Bang! In the next moment, the football players fell to the ground in awkward positions, clutching their broken legs and wailing.
Shi Ding's skin turned dark and blue, and he casually crushed a charm that Joanna had thrown, unaffected by these minor influences, and punched Joanna in the stomach.
Joanna felt like vomiting bitter bile, curling up on the ground like a large shrimp.
"Not bad... after taking my punch, your intestines are still intact, which shows you've undergone the Blood Path's enhancement."
Shi Ding nodded: "If you can survive, I'll make you my Bright Consort..."
Upon hearing the term 'Bright Consort', even Joanna's distorted face showed a clear look of fear...
...
In the evening, Fang Leng dragged his exhausted body back home.
He had just dealt with a secretary who had used secret transmissions to harm his boss and was about to take his place.
Just interrogating the secretary about the source of the secret transmissions had consumed a lot of his mental energy.
Now, he just wanted to have a good sleep.
"Unfortunately... I can't yet!"
Fang Leng sighed, his parents were still outside, and his eldest sister was in the hospital. Although he had sent a telegram, it was uncertain when they would receive it.
Even if they did, they might not be able to make it back in time for the funeral.
And that sister of his was also a worry.
Sigh, the academic atmosphere at Cuiting High School seemed to be getting worse and worse lately. It was possible that some strange heretic followers had infiltrated the school, and he would have to report to the team leader and have them thoroughly cleaned out.
He took out his keys, preparing to open the door, then make dinner for his sister, and also go to the hospital to visit his sister.
Click.
The door opened, revealing a not-too-large living room to Fang Leng.
Then, he raised an eyebrow.
He saw his eldest sister busy in the kitchen, and his younger brother, who was studying away from home, sitting on the sofa, seemingly reading the newspaper.
And that troublesome sister of his, Fang Fang, was standing by like a quail.
"This... Ah Xing, you're back? And Big Sister... isn't she in the infectious disease ward?"
Fang Leng felt his mind freeze.
